"This is serious! We never have anything planned for him, and he is not getting younger." Anna said.

"Has he ever been young?" Suh asked.

"When the earth was young so was Pinkerton." Jan-Piet commented.

Suddenly Pinkerton slammed the doors to the meeting hall up. He did not look happy at all.

"Uhh, Good day sir, what brings you in here?" Anna said, hoping no one would tell Pinkerton what they all were doing in here.

"What do you mean? I don't need a reason to be anywhere, I own this place! Now tell me why you all are slacking off in here!" Pinkerton yelled, he was really mad for some reason.

"Why we were...-ummf" Hildegard tried to tell Pinkerton, but Phillipe stopped her with a hand over her mouth so she couldn't continue.

"Why we were just planning on where we should do our next couple of expeditions sir, there has been a lot of new places lately, and we thought we all should prepare for them, Awwww" Phillipe said until Hildegard bit his hand.

"Humph" Hildegard scuffed and refused to look at Phillipe.

"It doesn't matter why you all are here, I was going to gather you all in here in the first place. I know you all are aware of what day is coming up soon, and I need you all to gather the correct things for me, so I have prepared a list for you all!" Pinkerton threw a bunch of lists on the table in front of him.

"Hmm? I'm not sure what you mean by a certain day sir." Victor asked wondering if he meant his birthday, since Pinkerton never mentions his birthday.

"It's the retired explorers day Victor, it's a very special day for me, a day for me to meet up with all my old explorer friends and reminisce of the good times." Pinkerton sighed and looked slightly happier, then he wrinkled his eyes and looked mad again.

"Well now you've gotten your instructions I will make you decide your own teams this time."
Pinkerton said and left before anyone could ask any questions.

"So what do we do now?" Hildegard asked and looked at Anna.

"We'll just do something we think Pinkerton would like if we did. Let's all do an expedition like Pinkerton would've done. That way we can show how much we honor him." Anna said.

"As they say imitation is the greatest form of flattering or so they say. Just remember don't out perform him, imitation may be the greatest form of flattering, but no one likes being out performed at their own game." Agatha said

And so the explorers prepared for a run worthy of Pinkerton himself.
